Buy it. Larian is a small studio that put a lot of effort and love into that game. If you like what they do, support them. You can get it DRM free on GOG, so you get to actually own it.
I intend to buy it, but I wanted to see how it runs on steamdeck first.
ProtonDB says it's decent, the game is Steamdeck verified plus you can return it with under two hours playtime, so I'd just buy it.
Any upgrade path with a pirated version should be completely irrelevant.
Yeah no reason not to just buy this one. DRM free and a well-made game. If piracy is a service issue, the service isn't a problem on this one imo
First of all, I can evaluate whether I like the game or not, see if it runs well enough for me. I know Steam has a 2 hour window for a refund, but that it less convenient than testing the. Game in other ways.
Steam has a 2 week refund policy, as long as you've played for less than 2 hours of game time. Buy it and try it, if unhappy refund it
That’s less convenient and doesn’t give much time to evaluate the game tbh.
I get that they're a good studio to support, but telling someone on a piracy instance to just buy the game isn't very helpful
Thanks! I thought it was weird to get that message on this thread.
It's not about being helpful in the sense of just answering the question at hand. If OP just wanted the question answered they can just Google it. Instead I wanted to offer an alternative, low risk solution.
While Ubisoft, EA and consorts can easily stomach some piracy and still crank out "AAA" titles in a 6-months interval, it hurts small studios relatively more. Buying and returning, on the other hand, offers a way to give feedback to the studio via the return reason and costs just as little as piracy.
